Aston Villa routs Bologna to set up all-English Europa League semifinal against Nottingham Forest

Aston Villa has advanced to the Europa League semifinals by beating Bologna 4-0
APRIL 16 • Associated Press
Tyrone Mings - Trains with the group Wednesday Mings (undisclosed) could be an option for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna after training with the group Wednesday, the club posted.
Impact Mings returned to training Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna after missing Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest due to an injury sustained in Saturday s session, though the exact nature of the issue remains unclear. The defender has not come off the bench in his last three appearances despite being named among the substitutes and holds a clear backup role, so his return is not expected to impact the starting XI.

Emiliano Martinez - Returns to training Wednesday Martinez (calf) trained with the group Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna, according to Jacob Tanswell from TheAthleticFC.
Impact Martinez trained with the group and could be available for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna after missing Sunday's match due to an apparent injury suffered during warmups. The goalkeeper had initially been set to start before the setback, and the issue now appears minor, potentially limiting his absence to just one match. He could return to his starting role if cleared, with Marco Bizot returning to his backup role.

Jadon Sancho - Back in training Wednesday Sancho (shoulder) trained with the group Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna, according to Jacob Tanswell from TheAthleticFC.
Impact Sancho trained with the group Wednesday and could be an option for Thursday's Europa League clash against Bologna after missing the last two matches due to a shoulder injury. The forward had been starting on the right wing prior to the setback and could gradually work his way back into that role, with Emiliano Buendia and Leon Bailey competing for minutes.

Marco Bizot - Four saves in draw Bizot had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Bizot got the nod in goal for Aston Villa on Sunday after Emiliano Martinez (calf) was forced out during warmup, and he was beaten in the 38th minute when Neco Williams ripped a low strike from 20 yards inside the near post to pull the match level. He came up with a big-time stop in the second half, sticking out a leg to deny Morgan Gibbs-White after a heavy deflection off Matty Cash, keeping Villa alive while Forest were pushing hard for a winner. The Dutch keeper has now filled in for six Premier League matches this season, recording 17 saves and one clean sheet, and he's set to remain the starter until Martinez is back to full fitness.

Tyrone Mings - Misses out due to pain Mings was out for Sunday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest due to "pain," according to manager Unai Emery, per John Twonley of Birmingham Mail. "He was feeling yesterday not very g...
Impact Mings was out of the team sheet Sunday, and it has now been confirmed as due to injury, as he felt pain in Saturday's training session. The defender has yet to see more of an update, leaving the exact area of the pain up in the air. He had gone unused in the previous three matches either way, mainly a loss of depth.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Emiliano Martinez - Late scratch Sunday Martinez is a late scratch for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to his club.
Impact Martinez is missing out Sunday despite initially receiving the start, with the goalie appearing to injure himself in warmups. This is a rough loss for the club as they go without a starter, leaving Marco Bizot to start in his place. He will hope for only a minor injury, potentially only missing the one game and returning to a starting role to face Bologna in UEL action on Thursday.

Jadon Sancho - Progressing well from injury Sancho (shoulder) is progressing well from his injury and could be an option for Sunday's game against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Unai Emery. "He's improving and getti...
Impact Sancho is progressing well from the injury he sustained during the international break, and a decision on his availability will be made after Saturday's training session. The winger has had a limited role in Villa all season long, so if he returns to action, he's not expected to carry a ton of fantasy upside anyway.
APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE
Youri Tielemans - Scores, two assists Tielemans recorded two assists on four chances created in Thursday's 3-1 win over Bologna.
Impact Tielemans returned to the starting XI before he was only a bench option in his return from injury before the international break. He would do well in his time on the field, notching two assists that would help lead his team to a win. He should remain in a starting role moving forward after the around two-month absence, as he has started in 15 of his 18 appearances this season while recording four assists in league play.

Impact Sancho is still dealing with the injury he suffered during a friendly, and after a two-to-three-week timeline was speculated, it is confirmed that he will miss two weeks. This will set the attacker up for a return around the third week of April, either against Sunderland on the 19th or Fulham on the 25th. This will force a change for the time being, with Leon Bailey and Emiliano Buendia as possible replacements.

Jadon Sancho to miss crucial run of Aston Villa games after freak injury blow in friendly
Jadon Sancho - Set for two to three weeks out Sancho (shoulder) is set to miss a minimum of two to three weeks due to his injury, according to Jacob Tanswell of The Athletic.
Impact Sancho is heading towards a decent absence, but has avoided the initial six-to-eight-week timeframe, instead now likely to miss two to three weeks. This comes after going down in a friendly during the break, suffering a joint issue in the shoulder, but luckily avoiding a dislocated shoulder. While there is a timeframe out, it is not precise, and he could be out longer, although he is for sure set to miss both Europa League quarterfinal matches against Bologna. With two starts in their past two games, Leon Bailey or Emiliano Buendia will likely see more time while Sancho is absent.
